Nissan has built a solid reputation for producing quality cars, trucks, and SUVs. Buying a new Nissan offers many advantages. Their lineup has many vehicles known for reliability and performance over the years.
However, many people choose to forgo the new vehicle and purchase a used one for various reasons. If you're looking to upgrade your Indianapolis commute with a quality used Nissan car, Tom Wood Nissan has an expansive inventory from which to choose. With that in mind, we created this article highlighting the used Nissan vehicles offering the best value to help you make an informed decision.
Reasons to Buy a Used Vehicle
Most buyers cite price as the primary reason to buy used. It's true, buying a used Nissan costs less than buying the same model new. You can save as much as $10,000 or more in some cases. As a result, you'll have a lower monthly payment when financing a used car. For people with a limited budget, buying a used car offers you the chance to buy a vehicle that you may not be able to afford new.
Used vehicles also retain their value better than new vehicles. New cars begin depreciating the moment you drive off the lot. Your vehicle could lose as much as 30% of its value in the first year. If you plan on keeping your Nissan for 10 years, this probably doesn't concern you. However, if you plan on selling or trading in your Nissan within a few years, buying new won't give you any return on your investment.
After year three, car depreciation rates slow down. Your Nissan might lose 10% of its value over years three through six. Thus, purchasing a three-year-old car enables you to own your vehicle with less impact from depreciation.
Concerns When Buying Used Cars
You get the full manufacturer's warranty when you buy a new vehicle that you may not get with a used car. However, Tom Wood Nissan will transfer any remaining factory warranty to you when you buy a used Nissan from us. In addition, we offer extended warranties for additional protection.
You get a car in its most trouble-free time when you buy new. As cars age, things break down and maintenance expenses rise. If you purchase a used vehicle, you can expect higher maintenance costs. That's why we encourage all of our used car customers to purchase extended warranties. These warranties give you the same protection as though your car were new, relieving you of the worry of expensive repairs.
Our Quality Inventory of Used Nissan Vehicles
Everyone wants to find a used car that fits their budget and needs. That's why our salespeople take a consultative approach to sales. We'll ask you a few simple questions to help us find the perfect vehicle for you.
Nissan Altima
One of Nissan's most popular sedans, you can find the Nissan Altima widely available. Models from 2013-2018 come with a reliable 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that averages around 30 mpg. The Altima has a sleek exterior style and many comfort and convenience features. Our inventory constantly rotates due to our high sales volume. However, we always seem to have a few late-model Altima sedans with low miles at prices to fit any budget.
Nissan Rogue
If you're in the market for a capable SUV, the popular Nissan Rogue has many appealing features. Many factors contributed to the Rogue becoming America's best-selling SUVs. Nissan has powered the Rogue with a capable front-wheel-drive system, but you can find many all-wheel-drive configurations in the Indianapolis used market. Its 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder delivers the horsepower and torque for spirited driving and control over various surfaces.
When you visit our dealership, you're sure to find the Rogue in S, SL, SV, and Sport trims. These models offer you choices for features, and our selection includes low-mileage Rogue SUVs at great prices.
Top-tier SV trims offer premium features such as leather seats with heating and ventilation, upgraded premium audio systems, and the latest in-vehicle tech to keep you connected no matter where your busy life leads you. For a more thrilling driving experience, the Rogue Sport trim offers sport-inspired engineering and styling.
Nissan Frontier
Perhaps you need a truck for work or the occasional weekend excursion. In that case, the Nissan Frontier offers the exceptional capability and off-road performance to handle your next job or adventure.
You'll find the Frontier with 5 and 6-foot bed configurations. For years, Nissan has used a powerful V-6 engine that tows up to 6,000 pounds. The Frontier has built a solid reputation for off-road performance while maintaining a smooth ride on the road. Don't be surprised to find one less than 10 years old for far less than other trucks in its class.
Nissan Sentra
If you're looking for a fuel-efficient sedan for your Indianapolis commute, the Nissan Sentra should be on your list. Nissan manufactures the Sentra in multiple trim levels with features to suit any driver's tastes. It offers more space than other compact sedans, and the variety of powertrain options gives you a choice between more efficient and spirited driving dynamics.
We have many Nissan Sentra sedans on our lot from 2015 and newer. All these sedans feature the powerful yet efficient 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine. You'll love the way the Sentra handles almost as much as you love the 37 mpg highway rating.
Nissan Versa
The Versa offers supreme performance combined with unparalleled efficiency, which is available in a four-door sedan or five-door hatchback. You'll get an impressive 40 mpg highway rating with the sporty performance you crave.
Nissan pairs their ultra-efficient 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a quality continuously variable transmission for smooth shifting and power on demand.
